    Default Frommia power feeders.

    I am selling my Frommia power feed.
    It is from the 60s and was used on my PK, UO/S and a Russian spindle.
    I have a bit of paper on them so thought I would post it here.
    Austral were the agents for them so i might do a thread on Austral and its products later if i can get the scanning and posting of pics quicker.
    Id actually scanned and downloaded 6 pics but lost most of them.
    Will ad more later.
    H.

    I've re scanned the brochure for the larger feeder.
    Note the price, that plus the phone numbers on Australs ads puts this in the early 60s.

    I gave it to the mate in Canberra who’d bought my PK a few decades back.

    Ah wish - I saw this, my PK actually has holes drilled which I can only think was drilled to fasten a power feeder.

    There is one available on ebay at the moment, however it looks a little overpriced for mine...about a grand and not in great shape
